[QUOTE="FireFlyFishing, post: 3016952, member: 127412"] Since you’re going deluxe on everything, you should look into a Giraud case trimmer. +1 on Dillion. I have a 650 and it spits out lots o ammo. You’ll need to drill and tap fire formed cases for the Hornady OAL gauge. You don’t have to do this, but it works better when you do. I’m a big fan of the wet tumbler, but I also use a traditional tumbler with walnut media on occasion. I like to pop the primer out and then clean my brass with the wet tumbler. Does it make a difference, not sure, but it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy knowing my primer pockets are clean. You’ll also want to get a flash hole deburring tool, primer pocket uniformer, and chamfer/deburring tool. Even if you shoot the fancy brass, you need to have these on your bench. I’m not super familiar with the 419 press (other than the price)…does it have a way to prime the brass? If not, you’ll need to get a primer tool. I’ve used the hand operated RCBS unit for thousands of rounds. Works every time. Get yourself a torque wrench/driver that operates in inch/pounds. Wheeler tools make good devices. You’ll be able to properly torque action screws, scope screws, etc. You’ll need a tool to level your scopes. Wheeler makes one. Lately, I’ve been using a scope square. All this fancy loading equipment ain’t worth squat if you don’t have a chronograph. Get the Garmin. You’ll also need a ballistics app and a kestrel. Yes, get an annealer. Spotting scope helps to see where you’re hitting on the target and/or watching a buddy hit the target. Get a good tripod. You’ll need a nice bipod And shooting mat for prone position shooting. Cleaning. You’ll need some kind of rifle cradle for cleaning. Get good cleaning rods. I like Tipton products. [/QUOTE]
